A few hours ago, iFireMonkey posted one of the most mesmerizing Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 leaks yet. According to him, a POI called Loot Island is set to be a sky island or floating island in the game. This will be caused by the Rift Gate and/or Rift Portal, which is set to open up in the sky above the island.
If this isn't exciting enough, this POI is also being referred to as a Rift POI, which suggests that players might be able to teleport to it using the Rift Gate. Given that the current season spends a lot of time focusing on the Rift Gate, it makes sense for Epic Games to use this asset to its fullest potential. However, many questions are yet to be answered.
What exactly is Loot Island in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2?

Based on the name, Loot Island may contain high-tier loot at greater concentrations as compared to the rest of the main island. Players will likely be able to secure top-notch items/weapons to use during gameplay.
If this is true, they will also have to fight other opponents to secure the loot in the first place. Since everyone wants a strong start in every match, this Rift POI will become highly contested.
Speaking of rifts, according to the leaker, players might be able to reach Loot Island using the Rift Gate. If this is true, then the mechanics surrounding this new POI will be similar to that of The Mothership from Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7, which players could only enter by being abducted.
Once inside, they would have to complete a mini-game and score enough points to obtain high-tier loot. It's likely that something similar will be introduced this time around as well, and it'll be interesting to see what Epic Games has in mind.
Does Loot Island signify the return of The Last Reality or Kevin The Cube?
Loot Island is not related to The Last Reality or Kevin The Cube. While the notion of a floating island does resemble those that were abducted by The Mothership in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 and Kevin The Cube ascending into the sky in Chapter 1, they are completely different.
Despite a fossilized version of The Herald being present on the island, she will not play a role in any way. With Geno and the Imagined Order rumored to make a return, The Last Reality is out of the picture.
If anything, players are likely to find hostile IO NPCs on Loot Island when they arrive. They might have to defeat them to obtain high-tier loot. This is very similar to how things played out in Chapter 3 Season 1, where players had to defeat Gunnar to obtain the Covert Cavern Keycard to open the vault.
Will there be multiple Loot Islands in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2?
As strange as it may sound, there's a possibility that more than one Loot Island will be present on the map next season. If these islands are not exclusively bound to the Rift Gate, Epic Games will no doubt provide multiple points of entry for players to reach the Loot Islands in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2.
With the introduction of Reality Augments, which make mobility easier than ever, some may argue that it is now easier for players to reach the top. However, this also adds a new layer of tactical complexity as players can approach combat in different ways, resulting in more dynamic and engaging gameplay.
